User:PK2/Documentation for cite encyclopedia

High-use

However, it is not intended for journals or magazines, which are issued periodically and have volume and (usually) issue numbers, and should be cited with Cite journal; nor is it intended for conference proceedings, which should be cited with Cite conference.

Some citations to tertiary sources such as encyclopedias are problematic; see Identifying and using tertiary sources.

Usage
